Hi,

It is possible in some patients to relapse previous or clinically silent fungal infection after starting antibiotics. In your case, it is quite possible that vaginal discharge is because of fungal infection relapse.

So first confirm it by gynaecological examination and then start fluconazole once a week for 4-5 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
